When filming our thriller, we didn't have to get any permissions as such, but we did have the make sure that the rooms we intended to film in weren't being used by any other students or staff members. We also made sure that when we were filming in the corridors we didn't disrupt any lessons that were already taking place.
Before we started filming, we had to make sure we altered the 'white balance' on the camera. White balance removes any unrealistic colours within the shot so that objects that appear white in person, appear white on film. If the white balance is not set, it can sometimes lead to whites appearing yellow, orange or even blue.
We needed to make sure when filming that each clip had handles by saying 'camera rolling, speed, action' before the action then took place. At the end we said 'cut' before filming for another couple of seconds before stopping the camera rolling. This is so when we put all the clips together they flow through without any jumps indicating the camera was cut there and making the transition much smoother.
We repeated filming each shot 2 or 3 times so that when it came to editing we could use the one that looked best. As well as this, we filmed different scenes with different lighting and movements to see which technique looked best when bringing it together. When filming the villains hand on the door we needed to adjust the lighting inside the room so only the shadow could be seen without my face in the light which would ruin the effect.
